Fin-Omenals 2010 Betting Thread

I made most of these bets a couple of days ago. The lines are different now. I know Bodog has eliminated the point spread on the Steelers/Saints game, for example.

Miami Dolphins +1 and Dolphins @ Bengals over 44

Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs over 46 (might regret this one, Arrowhead Stadium is a tough place to play)

Pittsburgh Steelers −1

Tennessee Titans +3.5

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Dallas Cowboys over 43.5

Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts over 49.5

 

Swing and a miss.

Big hit.

Remains to be seen.

 

That must be nice.

Titans +3.5 looks dead.

 

Heat is a cover and under machine.

Vegas is freaking out a little....gonna start bumping up lines.

 

Hopefully not before tomorrow’s game.

Of course, I’m losing everything I put money down on, so even if I took that bet I’d probably lose somehow.

 

Okay...slow down on the under....The Heat decided toe score 129 tonight....

Vegas is going to have to put up a ridiculous line up pretty soon.

Tonight was -16 which is insane for a weekday NBA game....they win by 32.

But that is 4 covers in a row. $$$$$$$$$$$

 

Probably has to do with Vick giving the Eagles their best yards per rush average in team history this year.

My picks today:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +9
Miami Dolphins +5
Miami Dolphins @ Baltimore Ravens over 41
New York Jets @ Detroit Lions over 42

And my huge “I need to make this or my bankroll is screwed” pick:

New York Giants −7 and Pittsburgh Steelers −5 parlay

 

2-2 here. I took your Colts +3 pick. Seemed plausible enough even though Vick is playing out of a dog’s mind right now.

Giants up 28-0 on the Seahawks with 9:15 left in the 2nd.

 

Colts lose 26-24. +3 it is.

 

In retrospect, it was obvious that the road winning streak was going to come to an end. But you’d think we would have kept it close. Oh well, it happens. I like Miami to win next week against the Titans. Hopefully we’re dogged. Given that the Titans are coming off a bye (like the Ravens did this week) we probably will be.

My big Giants/Steelers parlay is alive and well. The Steelers lost both games last year to the Bengals, but that was without Troy Polamalu. This year I think they win big.

 

Seahawks −7, Steelers −5.

Cha-ching. Quadrupled my bankroll on that one.

 

This is a pretty good NBA night.

Denver Nuggets @ Indiana Pacers under 210
LA Clippers +8.5 @ New Orleans Hornets
NY Knicks +5 @ Milwaukee Bucks
Minnesota Timberwolves @ LA Lakers −16.5

And I’m going to try my luck with a parlay:

Utah Jazz @ Miami Heat over 193 and Miami Heat to win

 

I have laid low....made my okay money until Bama screwed me a couple weeks back...however I am ready for college B-ball...winners everywhere...

 

Crappy interior defense in the third quarter, missed free throws, and missed opportunities in OT.

 

and Paul Millsap hit 3 3's inside of 30 seconds while he had only made 2 in the previous 5 years.

The cover machine hits a snag and finally drops one.

Let's see if vegas helps us bettors out and relaxes the lines.

 

Empty out the bank account....Vegas has corrected the Heat lines TOO MUCH.

The Heat is going to *** rape the Celtics tonight. bet it money line..lay the -120...take them laying 1.5....Just BET IT..SEND IT IN.

 

I need to see one more game before I bet heavy on this series...I will lay a little on the straight for the Heat...

 

Thank God I only laid 5 bucks on it......listen stay away from this series until Miami figures it out....

Bet with your head guys not your hearts, dont lay big money on this series yet.....

 

blind Heat covers are 4-2 so far this year.....ouch. started 4-0.

going back to the well on saturday.

 

Time to grind Big Sec!!!!

 

Fairly certain St. Bonaventure has shaded lines. Been looking this way for 2-3 years now.

 

The Bonnies are pretty decent to bet early on...I have won a few bones with them over the years...

 

BTW...the blind .."Home team on Thursday Night" trend is off to a good start.

 

Guess who is home this Thursday coming up big dog!!!??
